Qiao Jing pursed her red lips, tapped the screen and replied:
"Whether you are pretending to be sick or not, you know clearly in your mind. I will go over and check you tomorrow."
After saying this, she put away her phone and ignored Wu Xirui.
The next day.
Qiao Jing and Zhan Nanqing walked out of the research institute together.
Zhan Nanqing was watching videos on her phone while walking. When she saw a delicious restaurant opened in a certain store, she excitedly held Qiao Jing's hand.
"Qiao Jing, are you going to go home directly later? My brother has something to do at the company today anyway, so I'll pick you up and let's go out to play together?"
After hearing Zhan Nanqing's words, Qiao Jing frowned slightly and said helplessly:
"I'm going to give Wu Xirui a follow-up consultation later."
Although she knew that what Wu Xirui said yesterday that she had a physical condition was probably not true, it was indeed time to give Wu Xirui a follow-up examination.
Zhan Nanqing said "Ah" and then sighed.
"Okay, can I follow you?"
Although her family had some business friction with Wu Xirui recently, it did not affect her in the past to supervise the other party and prevent him from getting close to Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing recalled that when the two met before, Zhan Nanqing looked like he was facing a formidable enemy when he saw Wu Xirui.
In addition, the Zhan family and Wu Xirui have been having a bad time recently, so bringing Zhan Nanqing there is really not the right choice.
So she refused without hesitation.
"I can just go there by myself."
Zhan Nanqing didn't force herself to follow him. She turned on the camera and pointed it at herself, intending to straighten her hair.
She had just straightened her bangs in front of the phone screen when she suddenly saw several people in black standing in a corner behind them.
Zhan Nanqing thought she had seen it wrong, stretched out her hand to rub her eyes, and found that those people suddenly disappeared.
She said "Huh?" with a puzzled look on her face, turned around to check, but still didn't see anyone.
Could it be the bodyguard her brother hired to protect Qiao Jing?
She thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed something her brother could do, so she didn't care about it anymore.
At the same time, Qiao Jing also noticed something was wrong and slowly frowned.
She could keenly sense that these people were definitely not bodyguards sent by Zhan Qi Pei.
Because the bodyguards sent by Zhan Qi Pei would keep a certain distance from her, but these people were indeed closer to her.
Qiao Jing pursed her red lips and took a few steps forward quickly, pretending that she wanted to turn around and talk to Zhan Nanqing.
"Nan Qing, where are you going later?"
While she was speaking, the corner of her eye accurately looked at the location of the person following them, and captured a black figure.
She was now more certain that the person following her was sent by someone else.
After hearing Qiao Jing's words, Zhan Nanqing was stunned for a moment and replied:
"Ah? I went out to play for a while after work before going home. Do you want to go with me? But I just asked you, didn't you say you were going for a follow-up visit?"
Qiao Jing walked quickly to Zhan Nanqing and lowered her voice.
"Someone is following us."
She just couldn't see the other person's whole face clearly, she only saw a black figure, and she couldn't be sure who it was.
Could it be that they were sent by Zhan Kaiyang? But logically speaking, the other party should not be brave enough to do something near the research institute.
When Zhan Nanqing heard this, he was startled and his eyes widened slightly.
"Aren't those the bodyguards sent by my brother?"
Qiao Jing frowned, squinted her eyes slightly, and using Zhan Nanqing's shield, she glanced behind her again, trying to get more information about those people.
I don't know if they were noticed, but those people hid in the dark and refused to come out.
She said in a voice that could only be heard between them: "No."
Zhan Nanqing was a little flustered now and watched her surroundings vigilantly.
"Then should we call the police? Who are they following?"
Fortunately, she thought it was a bodyguard sent by her brother, but it turned out not to be the case.
Seeing that Zhan Nanqing was a little panicked, Qiao Jing immediately took the other person's arm and asked him to lean against her. He held Zhan Nanqing down with his other hand to prevent her from looking around at will.
After thinking of those people's goals, her eyes darkened.
"We don't know who they are following yet. We will go separately and contact you later. Please stop looking around randomly to avoid alerting others."
She could feel that those who were following her were probably coming to find her.
Because she had just inadvertently caught a pair of blue eyes staring at her from the corner of her eye.
Blue eyes... he is not from the Empire.
If Zhan Nanqing continues to follow her, it is very likely that she will be dragged down by this.
After hearing Qiao Jing's words, Zhan Nanqing didn't dare to look around anymore and looked at each other with a worried look.
"But...if I leave, what if they come looking for you? You are pregnant now. If something happens...No, let's go together!"
If those people's target is Qiao Jing, it would be dangerous for Qiao Jing to leave alone, because the other person is now pregnant with triplets!
Qiao Jing'e frowned slightly, knowing that Zhan Nanqing was not that easy to fool, so she had to change her words.
"They are following one of us. If we go together, we will probably be caught in one fell swoop. Or even if they are following both of us, they will definitely have to spread out their forces so that I can deal with them. We will leave separately later.
After that, if you notice that no one is following you anymore, you can handle the rest by yourself."
She has a certain ability to protect herself, but Zhan Nanqing is powerless. If he goes with her, he will definitely be dragged down by her.
Zhan Nanqing hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing to leave separately.
"Qiao Jing, be careful. Although I know you are very powerful, you are pregnant now. If they want to find you, don't fight them. I will contact my brother as soon as possible."
Qiao Jing nodded slightly and walked in the other direction.
Zhan Nanqing wanted to stand there and look at Qiao Jing's back, but the current situation was too urgent and she couldn't stop, otherwise she might be discovered.
She gritted her teeth, turned around and left quickly.
After Zhan Nanqing walked out for about a few minutes, it felt like no one was following behind her.
She immediately stopped, looked back, and found that there was indeed no one following her, and her heart skipped a beat.
Since no one is following her, it means that those people’s goal is Qiao Jing!
Thinking of this, Zhan Nanqing tremblingly took out her mobile phone from her pocket and called Zhan Qipei.
"Du-du--"
She called for a long time, and no one answered her call until she hung up.
Zhan Nanqing quickly called Tang Yan, but the result was the same, no one answered.
